Windows - 2002

Jonathan 09 Nov. 2026

Works mostly fine on modern Windows 11 when run through DxWnd. Some notes:
* Once installed, copy the DTR2.exe in the Crack folder of the ISO into the installation folder to replace the stock EXE (back it up first if desired). The game will then run without the CD.
* DxWnd needs to be run as admin to be able to launch DTR2 -- tick the "Acquire admin caps" box in DxWnd when setting it up for DTR2.
* The Video and More Video menus in Options cannot be accessed and will crash the game with an error about an unsupported or illegal default resolution or something. I have not found a fix, but the default video settings work okay through DxWnd and the default detail levels are adequate for a modern computer.
* Since the Video menu can't be accessed, set the window dimensions in DxWnd -- when setting up DTR2 in it, set the desired window dimensions under Position on the Main tab. I set it to 1280x960 and it worked well. Keep the aspect ratio to 4:3, otherwise the picture will simply stretch (aspect ratio changes would require access to the in-game Video menu).
* The game determines the starting year of a career as the upcoming real-life calendar year. If you, like me, don't like playing an old game that starts a career in 2027, set DxWnd to Extended Mode, then in the DTR2 config, on the Timing tab, tick Time Stretch (leave it at x1) and then Fake Date, and set a date in the Global Settings in the calendar year before the year in which you want your career to start. I set it to September 1, 2000, so that I could have my career start in 2001.
* The water truck movie clip between heats and mains in career mode events plays its audio, but gives me a black screen until it ends on its own. It's not essential and can be disabled in the in-game options in the Game menu.

There is a problem with the sound. When you turn off the sound in the options exe file, it runs, but otherwise it crashes.

Sorry I shouldn't have been so hasty to say that. It seems to just be a false positive.

Does not run. Mounts fine, installs fine, but crashes back to desktop immediately after running the intro videos. Cannot even get to the Options screen to change any settings that could potentially resolve the crashing problem. Windows 10 64bit FWIW. Compatibility settings made no difference, same results.

Running faultlessly on Windows 10 once Gitchimo's advice followed - THANKS.
Only thing to add is that once disc image is opened and installed there is a crack folder with a different DTR2.exe file in it - I put this in the installed game in place of the original. THEN followed Gitchimo's steps. Runs completely fine from this.

Works fine on windows 10.
Just remember its an old game and act accordingly!
once you mount the iso and install the game, right click the DTR2 exe and go to properties/compatibility. set it to use compatibility for windows xp SP3.
Now start the game, and go to options/Video and set the color depth to 32 instead of 16 to avoid the crash involving d3d8 etc. Enjoy!
